UofT Student Financial Aid

The University of Toronto appreciates that students with families may have atypical financial needs, especially emanating from their need for child care.

Domestic undergraduate and graduate students who apply for OSAP will be considered for a study grant, which is available to students with children. Furthermore, the University of Toronto Advance Planning for Students (UTAPS) will look into topping up any unmet need through a non-repayable grant. Canadian students who are from other provinces should ensure that they contact the Office of Admissions and Awards for a UTAPS application early on in the fall session. Unfortunately, international students are not eligible for this funding.

Undergraduate students experiencing difficulty due to unexpected costs related to child care are encouraged to contact their financial aid counsellor at their college for assistance. In preparation for such a meeting, preparing a monthly and sessional budget is often useful.

Graduate students with extenuating financial circumstances should contact the Fellowships and Loans Office at the School of Graduate Studies and avail themselves of the services offered by the financial aid counsellors. There are emergency grants available for unexpected and unforeseeable circumstances. For more information, please visit the School of Graduate Studies website.

The Office of Admissions and Awards has compiled a list of the following awards available to current University of Toronto students on an annual basis: University of Toronto Award Competitions.
